DA split will doom party to permanent opposition
Rumour has it that the once promising, self-proclaimed leader of the opposition is facing a moment of reckoning, 100 days after Cyril Ramaphosa took over as the president of the country.
The DA is reportedly facing a possible split due to concern by some within the party that Mmusi Maimane is trying to turn the DA into a civilised EFF, instead of maintaining its roots as a Liberal party with a capital letter "L".
Those who are unhappy with Maimane's grand experimentation with the DA are said to be considering forming a new party which will be set to oppose everything in the country. They want a DA that will embark on ruthless opposition to everything! Helen Zille is touted to be a possible leader of the new party that will be formed.
Before everyone starts denying the reports about this move, allow me to indulge in how senseless this idea is. In the current South African landscape, there is no space for the type of liberalism that is being propagated by Zille's fans, or Maimane's detractors for that matter. To put it differently, such liberalism will guarantee you a permanent role as an opposition party and is not a recipe for winning the elections in South Africa.
